QHHT vs. Soul Journey Method: What's the Difference?

Written By James Guiry

If you're exploring deep hypnosis work, you've likely heard of Dolores Cannon's QHHT method. It's powerful and well-known—and it played a big part in my early development. I love Dolores’s work and have a deep respect for her legacy.

I trained in her method and learned a lot from it, but I found it to be a bit restrictive over time. As I worked with more clients, I began blending in teachings from other pioneers like Brian Weiss, Michael Newton, and Roger Woolger.

Over time, this evolved into what I now call the Soul Journey Method—a flexible, integrative approach to deep soul work.

1. Guiding Philosophy

QHHT (Quantum Healing Hypnosis Technique)

  • Built on Dolores Cannon's belief that the "Subconscious" (also called the Higher Self) holds all knowledge and can instantly heal the body.

  • The practitioner follows a specific format to bring the client into a past life and then contact the Higher Self.

Soul Journey Method

  • Based on the idea that the soul holds stories, memories, wounds, and wisdom across time.

  • Combines past life regression, spiritual hypnosis, Jungian integration, energy release, and symbolic healing.

  • Healing comes from within—but through multiple inner voices, parts, and guides—not just one “SC.”

2. Session Structure

QHHT

  • Highly structured with a standardized script.

  • Sessions must be done in person (per Dolores’ original method).

  • Typically includes 1 past life and direct dialog with the Higher Self.

Soul Journey

  • Fluid and personalized.

  • Sessions can be done in person or online.

  • Includes past lives, inner child work, dreamscapes, energy attachments, guides, future self, and more.

3. Client Role

QHHT

  • Client is mostly passive; they receive insight and healing from the Higher Self.

  • Conscious mind is minimized.

Soul Journey

  • Client is an active participant.

  • The conscious mind is integrated rather than bypassed.

  • Clients interact with parts of themselves, reclaim energy, and make soul promises.

4. Spiritual Scope

QHHT

  • Focuses mainly on past lives and the Higher Self.

  • Occasionally involves guides or ETs but not the core focus.

Soul Journey

  • Includes past lives, interlife exploration, soul retrieval, attachments, spirit guides, animal totems, dream worlds, ancestral healing, and the future self.

5. Practitioner Training

QHHT

  • Structured online training (Levels 1 to 3).

  • Focus on script adherence and Dolores’ protocols.

Soul Journey ( coming 2025)

  • Training includes intuitive guidance, energy work, symbolic interpretation, and real-time client navigation.

  • Still evolving, focused on practitioner embodiment and adaptive skill.

6. Overall Experience

QHHT

  • Best for those seeking a deep, structured experience and direct answers from their Higher Self.

Soul Journey

  • Best for those seeking a transformative journey, symbolic healing, and deeper connection with their soul's path.
